American writer H. P. Lovecraft is the father of Elder Gods in written form! Lovecraft has written literature that incorporates elements of slow-creeping madness and cosmic horror, never mind the general insanity resulting from contact with Elder Gods and his writing has and continues to inspire writers everywhere. A large portion of Elder God authors are comic book writers and many of these writers have been influenced by Lovecraft’s writing and have incorporated his style into their comic book stories giving readers a reading experience like no-other.

Elder Gods have beguiled comic books for years. There is a vast multitude of gods and nearly all of them are unstoppable cosmic entities. However, all gods are not created equal; some are greatly stronger than others. There are even deities who transcend the conventional description of gods as they defy conventional understanding. Then there are Elder Gods who revel in human catastrophe, often the cause behind the distress.

Providence’ comic book written by the hugely popular writer Alan Moore is one of the best Elder God comic books written and is part of H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos and is a Sequel and Prequel to Neonomicon and The Courtyard. Providence’s plot begins in 1919 when writer Robert Black quits his newspaper position, so that he can write his novel. Black’s research sends him someplace sinister, a place he may never return from.

Hellraiser Comics are another example of an Elder God. Clive Barker’s chilling Hellraiser comics had several sequels and mega-hit movies spin out of the comic book. Hellraiser comics begin with a puzzle box and once that box is open it is a gateway to the Hell-like realm of the Cenobites. Cenobite Pinhead is the Elder God in Hellraiser and once he has you in his clutches…. There is no going home!
